News details

Having built an ambitious squad with stars like Vlahovic, Nübel, Trossard, Poku, and Miretti, Beşiktaş launched a critical operation in the final hours of the transfer window to add a world-class reinforcement to their midfield, but were left disappointed. The Black-and-Whites reached an agreement in principle with Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers for the transfer of 25-year-old Belgian central midfielder Nicolas Raskin.

The Beşiktaş board shook hands verbally with Rangers' management on a loan deal with an option to buy. Negotiations between the clubs over the final contract details went on for a long time. Following the agreement, Raskin made the final decision: “I won't go to Turkey.” After turning down Beşiktaş's offer, the Belgian player featured in the starting XI for Rangers in their match against Falkirk last night.

According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the midfielder rejected the transfer offer to Turkey in order to remain at Ibrox under Derek McInnes. Tavolieri emphasized that Rangers and Beşiktaş reached an agreement at the end of negotiations, but the only problem was Raskin. According to Tavolieri, the 25-year-old player was not convinced by the project Beşiktaş presented to him and therefore rejected the transfer.
